Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature mascarpone cheese with fresh blueberries. Gently fold the berries into the mascarpone until evenly distributed.
  2. Take two slices of challah bread and spread a generous amount of the mascarpone and blueberry filling between them to create a sandwich. Press the slices gently together.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together two eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt.
  4. Carefully dredge each stuffed sandwich in the custard mixture, turning to coat both sides thoroughly.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter until melted. Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Remove the cooked French Toast from the skillet and transfer them to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with warm maple syrup before serving.
